Pinball is the shiz. Everybody should know that.

However, post your views on the game here, and if you want, your favourite version, perhaps.

My record (maybe or may not be accurate, because last time I played it was 1.5 years ago) was something like 8-10 million points, if that's too bad, add a few more zeroes, I can't remember the game very well, but it was amazing.

Also Vista doesn't have Pinball game. :/

I still have my dad's Austin Powers themed pinball for the PS1.

Good Times...

I have Pokemon Pinball for the Gameboy Color. Shit's so much fun. Put a AAA battery in and it rumbles.

A Space Pimp pinball machine has been in the pipeline for years. *Years.*

It's not in the Release Candidate, although I haven't fully explored the offerings on Windows Live.
There's this nifty cake game, though. You build cakes, and it's a game.

Not one person has talked about a REAL pinball table. As much as I love pinball - the skill/luck factor and the debate over which is dominant, the techniques and strategies involved, and the sheer simplicity - I am AWFUL at the game.

Though I have been working on my flipper catch.
My informal goodbye, because I feel too detached from the community, and cannot find a way to delete my account:

Peace. \/

As true as this may be, foosball will always have a bigger place in my heart than pinball.

I concur. And that classic clown-headed pinball guy that opens and closes his mouth, constantly moving his eyes around and speaking in that disturbing voice...

Woo *PURBLE PLACE*

That game is impossible in the hardest difficulty (when my brother said the game were you had to make cakes with colors and forms, was hard as hell, I laughed)
Also on the topic of games that come preloaded with windows, I dig the new Solitaire designs.



Also, about Pinball, I had a Microsoft Pinball game from around 97-98 or something. Dunno what was its name, but it sure was an awesome game.

Nah, I think the physics in pinball-based video games are more realistic than in actual pinball machines. Imperfections in wood, unbalanced legs, three dimensions, etc.
